NASA is sending a probe to Jupiter’s moon, Europa in the 2020’s. It will orbit Jupiter and take high resolution photos of Europa as it passes by to see if it has the conditions to support life as we know it. The probe will fly past it 45 times as it orbits Jupiter so there will be plenty of opportunities for good pictures. It is thought that Europa has a layer of frozen water on the surface and a liquid water ocean underneath the ice. The moon doesn’t freeze solid because tidal forces from Jupiter’s gravitational pull cause Europa to ‘flex’ which stimulates volcanic activity and generates enough heat to keep the interior liquified.
Besides Earth, Europa has the best chance to harbor life of any place in the solar system. If we don’t find it there we probably won’t find it anywhere. Although life almost certainly exists elsewhere in the universe, anything outside our solar system would be unattainable to us because of the distances involved (lucky for them).
oh yeah. i’m not necessarily thinking in terms of potential colonization. i just want evidence that it’s out there somewhere. in terms of probability, it’s a virtual certainty. but it’d just be cool to see. and does such a discovery affect society knowing we’re not alone? meaning the planet as a whole.
and not even necessarily intelligent life although i’m sure that exists somewhere if not here.
In fact…I would list LDE as the top priority of all their needs.
well ignoring other needs i think kpassagnon would be great for wade’s defense. i don’t think he gets into the third round, so you’d have to draft him with the rams second rounder. or maybe after a trade down.

Drafting 2 TEs? I know we’ll “get” two … but I’m thinking it may be post draft.
The talent is crazy at the position this year and I’m not seeing 35 TEs getting drafted …
Some guys aren’t even getting mentioned and when I run through simulations there are always TEs available…i think the rams need a tight end more than a wideout. i think there’s more talent at that position than is being given credit for. tight end, on the other hand, is a bigger question mark. notice i say bigger. cuz ultimately they’re both question marks, but i think tight end is the bigger one.
it’s evan engram for me. hodges if engram isn’t available. the talent is super crazy there this year. i’d say howard, but i mean we gotta be realistic here.
obviously kromer will have heavy input in the running game. but i also wonder if lafleur will have something to add. he’s been around shanny’s zone blocking system.
i know it didn’t work last year, but i gotta wonder if lafleur might have some insight the last coaching staff did not.
in any case, both the bills and falcons running games were simply awesome. i like that mcvay mined some talent from those two staffs. not ignoring the running game.

If Tru is traded, I will be adding a CB early.
2) Engram … the only gripe I’m hearing is that there are thoughts that he may not be there. Until I get more mocks showing me he won’t Im going to leave him here. Gerald Everett would be my backup and he’d be a 1b to Engram’s 1a.
3) WR … Juju/Kupp/Godwin/Z Jones/Chad Hansen … one will be there. One will slide. There’s too much talent elsewhere and those guys are not top ALL 50 talents. Not in this draft anyway. I have been leaning away from WR this early, but my feel is that the brass will not be. I have Josh Reynolds, Taywan Taylor, Darboh, and Ardarius Stewart a half shade below these guys and personally I’d prefer to get value later … but these kids all have something special about them and that half shade may matter.
4) C Pocic or Elflein … I prefer Elflein but he may be gone.
4) CB Brendan Langley … I like him for development and taking over for Tru … he’s got skills just needs high speed reps.
5) OLB Vince Beigel … Im going to consistently draft him in this area … he reminds me of Barwin.
6) ILB Jayon Brown / Reeves Maybin smaller ILBs with great range.
6) Josh Tupuo … NT … a quick kid for being a big man. True Nose tackles are worth investing in.
7) RB Justin Davis USC … 6-1 208 and ran a 4.48 … was not expecting that. I need a big backup to Gurley. I’d prefer Brian Hill but I have him gone in the 4th or 5th.
if the draft unfolds that way, i’m not sure there’s much i could complain about.
maybe the only thing is that the rams still have no true 3-4 de.
